Quote of the Day: Dear Abby Should Not Be Giving Advice About Taxes | 04.14.10
Dear Ms. Van Buren:
Your response to “Phobic” about her boyfriend’s tax returns contained a significant error. You characterized enrolled agents as “the only tax specialists licensed to practice before the IRS,” which is not true. The fact is, certified public accountants and attorneys are federally authorized to represent clients before the IRS.
The CPA has long been synonymous with reliable, objective tax preparation and ranks as the preferred tax professional among millions of U.S. taxpayers.
On behalf of the many CPAs who prepare tax returns every year, we would be appreciative if you would print a correction in your column.
~ Tom Ochsenschlager, Vice President – Taxation American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, in response to this.
